A Christmas criss cross easel card




Here is a Christmas criss cross easel card. I made the criss cross card as a normal one but then stuck onto the front of an easel card.
The image is a Karens Doodles which I have coloured in with Berry Red and Forest Green and almond Promarkers. I then cut out with my circle and scalloped circle nesties.
The backing papers are from a Dovecraft pack of christmas papers from a couple of years ago called Contempory christmas. I cut the removable red scalloped tag with a sizzix die and tied eskimo wool through the hole in the centre.
I attached the image with 3d foam pads to raise from the card and then cut a red poinsettia with a Marianne creatables die which I also added to base of card with 3d foam pads to hold the card upright.
I am entering this card into the following challenges

    hi there, this is gorgeous,I have also dropped by to say that this will be my final visit to your blog for at least a few months, I am going abroad to get married, and coming back to moving house, settling down before I can come back online. I appreciate your kind comments and your visits to my blog, I will try to update it from time to time, but I can not promise. I will miss blogland, take care and catch up soon, from me - wondering if anyone will miss me in blogland...
